During this week’s UFC 278 media day event, Kamaru Usman notably addressed his acting debut. ‘The Nigerian Nightmare’ admitted that acting is a different field, adding that it isn’t easy to work 14 hours a day as most actors do. He suggested that while you generally presume working as an actor is easy, it’s only after you go through the actual experience that you realize how tough the profession is.

Furthermore, Usman highlighted that he was blessed to work with several amazing actors and actresses. With regards to the ‘Black Panther’ sequel and his role in it, Usman stated:

“So, a lot of respect for them. I think it’s going to be an incredible movie. Director Ryan [Coogler], an amazing director, and I think – you never know what they cut at the end. So, hopefully, my scenes stay in there. So, fingers crossed."

"But if they cut it the way that they know how, I think it’s going to be a fantastic movie. I think it’s going to take you on an emotional rollercoaster. But, all in all, fantastic. Marvel don’t usually miss. So, we’ll see.” Usman jestingly added, “All you DC fans, don’t come at me.”

Kamaru Usman is on the cusp of a rare achievement at UFC 278

UFC welterweight kingpin Kamaru Usman is scheduled to defend his title in a rematch against Leon Edwards at UFC 278 on August 20. Usman beat 'Rocky' via unanimous decision in 2015 and has vowed to go 2-0 against the dangerous UK MMA stalwart.

Yet another feat that Usman will accomplish should he beat Edwards at UFC 278, is tying the legendary Anderson Silva’s record for most consecutive UFC wins (16). The consensus is that a win at UFC 278 would solidify Usman’s status as an all-time great in the sport of MMA. Nevertheless, that’ll be easier said than done, as many expect Edwards to be Usman’s toughest matchup in his title reign thus far.

This Saturday at #UFC278!!
